1. I saw that!!! He also said the media isn't showing the "good news"

Unbelievable! The same GOP talking points they use for Iraq!

2. Brig. Gen Marks--now CNN analyst who told Kyra just before
the "isolated pockets" comment that it was "physics, Kyra"

She seemed totally pissed..."I know you well as a military analyst, it's all about quick response...you gotta tell me now, was this a quick response...etc

7. she was furious...
Really was starting to blast him. I'm shocked that a Bush shill dropped her whoring long enough to actually experience a moment of humanity.

18. Kyra was awesome
You could tell she wasn't buying the General's BS and she called him on it. Too bad they had to cut away to show Chertoff's news conference. He is just spewing the same ole, same ole BS.

5. He just said that there are lots of good things
going on on the ground but we're just not seeing it. Sound familiar? I guess we now are seeing what the Iraqi's have been saying for years now!!

14. Odd that the widespread immediacy
of our digital technology, our cameras and picture phones, isn't able to pickup all that good news. Apparently, all the equipment we have only shows the desperation of people abandoned by our country's weakened safety nets.
Must be the technology...it has a "good news" filter which just doesn't let us see how wonderfully Bush has managed the federal government.

10. Yeah...why is the MSM not showing Military
on the ground and why do they all keep showing that same truck going over the same bridge with the same 6-8 guys in the back...been seeing that one video for 3 days...


Why would the MSM not be interviewing and showing the humantarian efforts ON THE GROUND of our Military people if they are there, already.

20. When one person is suffering, its too many.
Sure, there are some good things happening with the few rescuers we have on the ground, but when one person is sufferring, that is a tragedy.

The city is vastly populated, there are countless dead and there are many more on the verge of death out in the city. The eldery and the young are dropping, as they are the most suceptible, and it wont be long before the rest of the normally able-bodied people drop as well.

If there are isolated pockets, then why did FEMA shut down evacuation operations? Proof positive that these people are liars!

22. It's all the liberal media's fault that we're not seeing the positive.
God, these people just lie and lie and excuse and excuse.

Get a plane. Drop supplies to the convention center. Do something.

God, I feel like I'm gonna start screaming.

:argh:
